A common problem for many is getting to sleep and sleeping well. The busy pace of everyday life and a full to-do list of weekly commitments can make switching off from daily stress feel impossible.

We often live at this constant pace week after week. The more stress you have during your day, the more challenging it can become to find the rest and relax button for a peaceful sleep at the end of the day.

HOW A BUSY PACE AFFECTS YOUR ADRENALS AND SLEEP CYCLE
The daily routines and habits you follow help define and structure your day. If you have poor sleep hygiene, this not only sets you up for a trying night’s sleep, but impacts the day ahead. A poor sleeping cycle impacts on daily energy, mental focus, your ability to feel calm, and your adrenal health. Your adrenals are little glands that live on top of your kidneys, small in stature but immensely powerful in action. One of the main roles of the adrenal glands is to release and control your stress response. One of your primary stress hormones is cortisol and this is supposed to help in times of stress.

WHY LONG-TERM STRESS IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU
The release of cortisol helps you react to stressors and initiates your flight or fight response, helping you run away from danger if needed. Instead of stress being a temporary event, if it is a constant in your day such as with work issues, over-commitments or your environment and there is no off switch, this has a tiring and wearing effect on your adrenals and nervous system.

FINDING WAYS TO SWITCH OFF TO ACHIEVE DEEP, RESTORATIVE SLEEP 
Finding the off switch for a healthy and effective sleep cycle can help you re-set and support nervous system recovery. Getting enough quality sleep into your daily routine is a vital ingredient for wellness. Your sleep quality helps support much more than daily energy levels, but also your mental health, mood, nervous system, adrenal health, body recovery and comfort, alongside a healthy gut.

Sleep-supporting ingredients, magnolia, lemon balm and magnesium, all support a deep, restorative sleep which helps you switch off and supports relaxation, a healthy sleep cycle, and normal melatonin release for a restful night’s sleep.
